Science

Science at The Polygon is taught up to GCSE level. In years 7, 8 and 9 all students learn Science for two lessons of 40 minutes per week.

The students follow the AQA KS3 Science Syllabus which breaks the curriculum into 10 'Big Idea' topics which pupils visit and extend each year. This enables the pupils to develop a deeper understanding of their science to support them when they study the GCSE course.

In years 10 and 11, students follow the AQA Combined Science award and the AQA Entry Level Certificate Award, ensuring that all students are able to experience success while studying science at The Polygon School.
